In further celebration of Restaurant Week we knew we wanted to go to La Belle Vie and made a reservation 3 weeks in advance. La Belle Vie is one of the best restaurants in the Twin Cities. They are known for their tasting menu, wine pairings and amazing service. This meal did not disappoint, they were packed at 6pm on a Tuesday night! We opted for the tasting menu and partial wine pairing:
Nantucket bay scallops with foie gras, beets and black truffle. This was paired with a Mont Marcel Spanish Cava. I actually enjoyed these beets!
Sea trout with cuttlefish carbonara and braised butter lettuce. This was paired with a Neyer Chardonnay that was un-oaked and amazing. The trout was prepared so well, it was buttery and delicious.
Grilled beef ribeye with fallen camembert soufle, dried cherries and port. The rib-eye had a great crust and was cooked perfectly. The wine pairing was Kalys, which is a grenache/syrah blend.
La Belle Vie is one of my top 5 restaurants and meals ever! Such amazing food and service. This is a place we will keep coming back to.

I didn’t realize they had a wine pairing to go along with it!! I really was hoping they had one
Oh well! My BF doesn’t like beets either but liked theirs! I’m still dreaming about the foie gras!!!
